Don't

Don’t
By: LG
It took me decades to feel this way
I LOVE MY BODY AND YOU DON’T
It took me years to love myself
 BUT I LOVE MY BODY AND YOU DON’T
It took me months to wear clothes like this
I LOVE MY BODY AND YOU DON’T
It took me hours to figure out what to wear
 AND I LOVE MY BODY AND YOU DON’T
It took me minutes to laugh at you and say
I LOVE MY BODY AND YOU DON’T
It took me seconds to walk away
Because
I LOVE MY BODY BUT YOU DON’T
Self love is something I was self taught
Not by the woman in my life
Not my mother, grandmother, sister or or friend
But by myself
I did it the wrong way first
Believe me
I looked for it in a man
I thought you could show me value but
Of course I found the wrong one
It took me awhile to understand how I am supposed to be valued
For the good stuff on the inside
Not just the outside
I am not just a piece of ass
I am a strong, funny, caring, loving and independent woman
With curves in all the right and wrong places
I LOVE MY BODY BUT YOU DON’T
 I have to remember that my body is mine
It is my temple my shrine
Mine mine mine
I LOVE MY BODY AND YOU DON'T
And I don’t give a shit that you don't anymore
It’s mine
My temple, my shrine, my body
Mine mine mine
